Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of occupiers of 8 Penfold Cottages, with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed rear extension would create an unacceptable overbearing effect and reduce daylight to the neighbour's bedroom window, the only window serving that room, thereby conflicting with policies requiring development not to cause significant detrimental impact on neighbours' living conditions.

Framework references: 219, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy GC2, Policy GC3, Policy H13, Policy H14, Residential Extensions and Householder Development Supplementary Planning Document (2013)
